In todays housing market it is hard to find or afford a 4 bedroom house, so that leaves the majority of families having a 3 bedroom. As a parent, how many kids would you feel comfortable squeezing into one bedroom? Growing up, we only had a two bedroom house. I had to share a bedroom with both of my sisters and did not like it (I wanted my own space and privacy). I told myself that I personally would never place more than two kids in the same room. What do you think? ↓

| FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALL SAID THAT THEY HAD GREAT TIMES SHARING THEIR ROOM WITH THEIR SIBBLINGS. OF COURSE SOME TIMES YOU HAVE SIBBLINGS SQUABLE BUT MAJORITY IT WAS GREAT. MAKE SURE U PAIR THE SIBBLING THAT GET ALONG WELL TOGETHER. WHENEVER THERE IS A DISAGREEMENT, YOU SWITCH AROUND EVER SO OFTEN ↑ |

2 kids same sex in 1 room seem ok. You might find a house with a basement or attic you could convert in to a bedroom or 2. Right now we are looking for a 3 bed room a lot of the places we will have to make a room(s) for the kids. Boy 14 girl 12..(going on 20).
I wish we could stay in the area but it is too much money so we will most likely move about 30 away . This means my husband will have to drive over 1& 10min hour one way to work.
I hate that for him but what can you do.
All kids want privacy but they can have that when they get thier own place. I actally shared a room growing up. I might make it easier for when they go to college & have to share space.
We all can only do what we can.
Very best of luck!! ↑ |

| I would say for comfort to only put two into a one room. 2 kids of the same sex who are kind of close in age. You could run into alot of problem if you pair two kids who have a huge age gap between them because they don't have alot in common. ↑ |

| i have a tri level and when we built this house we only had 2 kids..now we have 4 and we have 4 bedrooms, but the bedroom down in our family room we use as a toy room. We recently put all 3 boys in one room(bunk beds) and a single twin bed fit in there comfortably. Luckily we have big bedrooms. My oldest was not happy about moving in with the younger 2 when my daughter was born but we told him eventually he could have the toy room. They all love to play together even though there is a bit of an age difference, but it works out ok. either that or get rid of the massive amt of toys and they choose to room together! ↑ |

| We have a four bedroom house as well. Three upstairs and one down. We used the down stairs room as the toy room because you have to walk through it to get the bathroom. Right now each of our kids will have their room since I only have a 2 year old and currantly pregnant with our second. Should within the next 5 to 7 years we have another or our second one turns out to be more then one, someone will have to share. Bunk beds are nice especially if the room is small or there is more then two kids in one room. ↑ |

| I'm in a bit of a pickle with that right now also. I have it worked out fine right now, with 1 crib and my 6 year olds twin bed (he is only with us a few days a month now - since my husband got into a fight with his bio mom), but there is a chance that I am carrying twins, and in that case Jack would lose his spot and have to sleep on the couch when he is with us. He doesn't really care either way, and literally never goes in there during the day, but I really wish he could have his own room and not have to sleep in a nursery, especially if we find out we're having a girl. ↑ |

| I chose to only have one child just so I didnt have to deal with such delemas. I know that isnt an option for most of you girls, seems you already have multiple children. The only way you could do as I did is if you got rid of one or two of you kids lol. I can see how space would be limited if you have several children. ↑ |

| Ofcourse I am only kidding about getting rid of the children. ↑ |

| I personally would only put two kids in one room if i had to. Right now i have both my three year old daughter and my 17 month old son in the same room and it doesnt always work out. As soon as possible im going to try to get a place were they can have there own rooms . ↑ |

| As long as the kids are the same sex then I'd say 2-4 per room depending on the size of the room. A brother and sister should never have to share the same room. ↑ |

| My husband and I cannot afford a house right especially because where we live a 3 bedrrom is $350,000 and up so we are in a 2 bedroom apartment with our 3 kids...Our 2 and 4 year old boys share a queen bed and our 10 month old daughter is in the same room in a crib. I am so hoping to be out of here soon so I can separate the them and have more room. It is so frustrating living in apartments!!!! ↑ |

For a time it was 4 to a room when I was growing up, and the same situation for my cousins, same sex after the age where school begins.
I have friends with large family, and the max usually is 4 kids to a room, usually because a bedroom can't handle much more then 2 bunkbeds.
There were spats at times, but some of the best memories come from crowded bedrooms! ↑ |
